But of course, which conversion you want depends entirely on what you
are going to feed it to, and which mbox they are expecting. Which is why
it really should be configurable.
Your use case looks to be feeding it to send-email
Almost, :-) because git-send-email does not support sending multiple
messages out of one mbox file. I have an upcoming patch to add this
support, and I was just "feeling the waters" before posting it.
I suspect you would
be better served by improving the 'From ' detection in send-email,
probably to something like:
/^From \S+ \w{3} \w{3} \d+ \d\d:\d\d:\d\d \d+/
though that may be too strict. It would probably make sense to steal one
from one of the many mbox-reading CPAN modules.
Good idea. I'll let others speak and can make this configurable (as
well as use the s/^>*From />&/ conversion), but if no one speaks, I'll
change my git-send-email patch to use the above regex or a similar one,
and withdraw this patch.
Thanks for the prompt remark!
